Indigo Watercolor Paint

My favorite watercolor paint is one of the easiest to make! No lake pigments are required for this recipe because you can buy indigo that is already extracted and powdered.

My suggestion is Maiwa's Indigo packaged as 'Earth Pigment' because it is finely ground and ready for paint making.

Supplies:

• 1/2 tsp indigo pigment

• 1/2 tsp calcium carbonate

• 10 mL watercolor binder

• Paint muller set

• Paint pan to store paint

• Particulate respirator mask *recommended to wear when working with fine powdered pigments like indigo

To Make Paint:

• Add pigment, calcium carbonate, & binder to the center of the glass slab

• Use the glass muller to mix until smooth (detailed instructions on mulling here)
